Vic,

Thanks for stopping in and taking the time to comment. I like your suggestion, though (and I'm not sure this makes sense) the sound of "look" doesn't quite fit the melody I have. It's more of an softer sound; and "look" is shorter, firmer . But I like your twist, tying "read the writing" to something other than the cliche "the wall". So while I'm not sure "look" works, perhaps "eyes". Maybe followed by "it shouldn't come as a surprise" or "it ain't the kind of thing you can disguise" . . .

At any rate, your suggestions indeed give me something to play with. It's very much appreciated.

Kindest regards,

Deej
